Among the spam emails we’ve been seeing recently are fake Amazon order emails, fake help desk emails, and fake password will expire soon emails.  Remember that no one will send you email asking for personal information or to click on a link to “fix the problem”. These are all scams. If you’re ever not sure about the legitimacy of an “Amazon” notice, open a fresh browser window and log direclty into Amazon and check your messages there. Never use any of the links these fake emails provide.
